GOVERNMENT SAYS MILLSWOOD WILL REOPEN

' MILLSWOOD station will not reopen on July 1 as promised by the State
Government before the March election.

The government says it will keep its promise for a trial reopening, but it
has jettisoned the pledge for it to start next month.

Leading up to the election, then transport services minister Chloe Fox issued
a statement saying "Belair rail services will return to Millswood
Station from July 1 for a 12-month trial".But Transport Department spokeswoman Melissa Martin told the Eastern Courier
Messenger last week it had "no record of the station opening on July
1".After the Eastern Courier Messenger sent her a copy of Ms Fox's statement, Ms
Martin issued a statement.

' Extensive work includes providing disability access, ensuring it is safe
for commuters, signalling alterations, fencing, new lighting, platform
repairs and new shelter and seating - Transport Department spokeswoman
Melissa Martin saying "significant" work needed to be done before
the station reopened.

"Extensive work includes providing disability access, ensuring it is
safe for commuters, signalling alterations, fencing, new lighting, platform
repairs and new shelter and seating. Further announcements in relation to
timetables, work schedules and other information will be released once all
planning is complete," Ms Martin said.

Ms Martin assured Millswood residents the government would deliver on its
commitment to a trial.

The station reopening was a central issue in the Ashford election and the
government's promise might have helped Labor's Steph Key hold the seat.

Reopen Millswood Station Residents Group member John Gasper wanted the
government to recommit to its election promise.

But Mr Gasper was happy to wait as long as the station did eventually reopen.
